Non-Premier Sig Reminder

As a reminder.. You are not allowed to have an image in your signature unless it is an issued signature for a premier league.. Refer below to the rule about sigs. You are allowed to keep simple text as long as it looks neat, but please remove any non-TF image yourself ASAP, otherwise we will start deleting your entire signature. Post here if you have any questions or issues..

Commishes: Please verify all members of your league are in compliance. We cannot watch every single person, which is why we rely on you to keep tabs on your league members..

Signatures:

At the last management meeting, we decided that we would not be allowing graphical signatures for non-premier members. We know, this sucks but there are a few reasons we did this. One of the reasons was to keep the site clean, some of you are talented with graphics and some of you are not. We want to maintain a clean look to the forums without giant images consisting of collages of poorly parsed images and text. Another reason we decided to go this route is to control the bandwidth usage. This is part of becoming a premier member as you have now paid to use the bandwidth that is allocated to loading the graphics in every thread. We are approaching 100 lifetime members and we must make sure we keep the site solvent for the long term so that these members realize the investment they have made. Part of that is keeping server costs as controlled as possible and thus the need to monitor our bandwidth.

For premier members, you will only be allowed to have your official TF sigs in your signatures. This was done for the same reasons as above. We will do our best to accommodate the signature demand and make sure everyone has one. If you are one who likes to switch teams a lot, prepared to wait a long time for updated signatures. Everyone will be issued a signature for your starting team, but just because you want to switch teams every season doesn't mean that someone has to labor on photoshop to keep you happy. Just a fair warning now.

We realize that this rule will likely be an unpopular one, but at least we hope you might see the logic behind it. We can always change this in the future, but for now, we feel that this is the direction we must go. It should be noted that other sites (who are larger with more resources) charge money or don't allow sigs and avatars all together.
